I found a rainbow butterfly once

The composition of a hormone that makes people love, a crystal structure and its parallel among the stars, deep web and mandalas : Lyndi Sales borrows from the scientific and technological imaging as well as from symbolic representations.

She questions, juxtaposes, looks, dreams to confront fears and fascinations, marvelling and horror. Through her two or three-dimensional works, the artist pushes back the frontiers of the visible to reach a better comprehension of the world. Her exploration of social realities comes with a spiritual quest.For years now, she has been finding some of her inspiration in the cutting-edge spatial research while also learning from Buddhist thinking. Navigating between microcosmos and macrocosms, between the tangible and the immaterial, a number of her works are looking to give shape to dualities such as light/obscurity, masculine/feminine, life/death. A desire for balance, visions and utopias or even other possible realms characterizes Lyndi Sales’ universe which is profoundly shaped by her environment : a highly-contrasted South-African reality where innovation and material deprivation live side by side.

Her language is the language of beauty, such as the captivating beauty of the butterfly that embodies the possibility of mutation.
